Looking Good... Feeling Good...

Sam has barely opened his eyes in 3 days no exaggeration. That is what scared me and his doctors and was the icing on the cake of why we went back to the ER on Wed. He was still mushy today but definitely more alert with better respiration and saturation. Maybe about 15 minutes ago he sat up to play, he laughed, and smiled so I think it is safe to say he is getting better. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he stays on this upward swing with NO relapse! Thanks for all of your support, thoughts and prayers they work!!!

I have been watching from afar and I am soo very glad he has turned the corner! I love you guys and think of you often. As a matter of fact your ears must ring daily as you are a true hero and I talk about you constantly! I am listening and learning and hope to someday be a better nurse because of you.Hugs Alise

you see friday the 13th can be a good luck day!!!!!so happy sam is feeling betterkeeping our prayers and fingers cross that he stays wellas alwayswith much loveand kisses to samand you and scottaunt maddy
